If a clydesdale is a both I am right there with you at 5' 11", 290 pounds. So what do I get for being part of the "club"

Over 200, regardless of height is a Clyde

What do you get?

Why the honor if associating with the Classiest riders ever to grace a bike!

Welcome to the Clydesdales, N_C

By the way, we don't eat our young like some of the subforums!

The separation has more to do with racing then anything, as a larger rider can put some undue force on a smaller rider. A 145# espoirs does not want to get into a shoulder rubbing contest with a 270# clydsdale at speed. Since you ride a 'bent, rubbing shoulders is moot.

At present, Im 205, and will prolly get to about 185 by springtime. But at 185, I'm only 2 weeks, a case of beer, and a dozen tainted doughnuts from 200 so I will always be a Clyde regardless of weight. After all, they call me Da-HOSS!

Maybe I can't rub shoulders since I am on a bent too, but It sure makes shoving a stick in your spokes alot easier
